School Discipline / Prosecutions

If your child’s school accuses them of committing a crime or not adhering to school regulations, your student may face suspension, expulsion, a transfer to an alternative school, or even criminal action. Don’t let your student face ongoing consequences due to a youthful mistake that makes it difficult for them to succeed later in life. Your child shouldn’t lose out on a college education or have a criminal record because they graffitied some lockers, or stood up against an unfair dress code policy.

Teakell has over 30 years of criminal law experience and a solid track record of defending students against overreaching school administrators, who are usually just seeking someone to make an example of.
